Advice Using this forum cause the Business forum isn't answered near as good. :-) I was wondering how much you charge a client when they request web size photos of an event you had photographed. I've never had this request before and don't know where to start. I've googled it but couldn't find any information and knew that BP would be the best help! Thank you in advance for your advice and suggestions!

Good day Samantha, Quite honestly I load those on to Photo Reflect site and while at the event I hand out cards with the site address on it. Or for a Wedding ect. I email them when the images have been loaded,with a invatation to view that they can forward to friends & Family. Here is the site Link: http://www.photoreflect.com/ This is a free site for all photographers. It allows you to use it for viewing and /or sales. you can see the link on my web site to mine. I hope this helps a bit,

Debby, thank you so much for the advice. I am actually a current PhotoReflect user. I've never had a customer ask me how much I would charge to just have some photos for their personal website use. I don't want to charge too much and I don't want to charge too little. I have no idea how much to charge. :-) They aren't asking for any physical prints either so the only money I'd make off this event would be for the web size photos for this particular guy! Any suggestions on what I should charge? Thanks again! Samantha

Sporting Events, these are the places you really must take cards and advertise your sales site. At this point, I'd offer to give them a few in WEB site resolution if they add a link to your sales site for this event. Usually if you do something nice for them them will really promote you and make sure your there for the next event. This is just a suggestion and A way to get those owners watching your site for images they need to promote thier animals. Again, cards at these events can get you invited to do Ranch shots needed to promote show, lease and stud service.

Thanks Deb! I passed out all the cards I had that day! My order for new ones just recently shipped so I should have them on Monday! :-) Sounds like very good advice. I sure appreciate it! Now, if I do that and they come back for more later on, should I charge them then? If so, what kind of prices for web size shots? Thanks so much!!! I truly appreciate your help!!

Sam, make these little cards off zazzle, easy to take everywhere. http://www.zazzle.com/240285734503401824?size=skinny&media=indestructible&front=skinny_front_horz&back=skinny_back_horz&mode=fit Well I think I would give it a time or two, let them know if they will promote your sales, you can contine to give them a bit for free or at a discounted rate. Rate always depend on what others in your area are charging as well.
